Topic > Drunk Driving and Drunk Driving - 901

I find it absolutely absurd that in 2012 alone there were over 10,000 drunk driving deaths in the United States. It is proven that 100% of deaths caused by drunk driving are preventable. Has the United States become such a corrupt nation that we can simply stand by and watch as innocent people are killed due to the carelessness of one person who had too much to drink? You might be going to work, watching your kid play soccer, getting your hair done, or just going for a lazy stroll and then… BOOM! Someone hit your car and your life was over in the blink of an eye. Driving while intoxicated affects you. It affects everyone in society, directly or indirectly. After long periods of contemplation and reflection, I believe I have managed to devise a solid solution to this social ailment. I am sure that most people will agree that my proposal will effectively eliminate the problem of drunk driving in our country. Having said that, I humbly propose that we cut off the hands of all those convicted of drunk driving. Without their hands, how would they be able to engage in activities such as drinking and driving? That would be completely unheard of. It was a typical breezy morning for 13-year-old Kaely Camacho. He was going to his mother's house to get ready for school, riding with his father and older sister. At that precise moment Sandor Guillen, a thirty-nine-year-old man, was speeding along the highway in his Range Rover, elusive and extremely drunk. In less than a millisecond the two vehicles collided causing a fatal impact. Kaely's father and sister were not seriously injured but as they turned to check on Kaely, they felt... middle of paper ......ntoxication because no one wants to go to prison for years for something they probably don't I don't even remember. In summary, hand removal is an effective solution to eliminating drunk driving. Kaely Camacho's killer cannot be served justice simply by being incarcerated. If he had not spent his hands, then justice would certainly have been served. The lives of four innocent pedestrians and the livelihoods of nine others should not be forgotten because of the mild assumption that Ethan Couch had “wealth.” Dismissing this crime with ten years of probation is not an adequate punishment for the crime itself. Ethan Couch deserved to have his hands cut off to protect himself and every other person who has to use a car for any reason. And bringing Hudud to America would benefit society as a whole. If Pakistan can do it, why can't we do it too??
